Hybrid Physiology: As with all members of Pantheon’s elite fighting team, Atalanta’s skin, muscle, and bone tissue are more dense than a normal human’s. This contributes to her superhuman Endurance and body weight and provides her with Feeble Body Armor. Her immune system and cellular regeneration function at a higher level than ordinary, granting her Regeneration of Good rank and the Recovery power. She can heal her Endurance rank in Health three times per day. She recovers lost Endurance ranks at a rate of one per day. Due to cellular regeneration, hybrids sometimes age more slowly than normal humans. This process begins after reaching adulthood. In some cases, hybrids actually grow or age more quickly as children due to this same cellular regeneration. Atalanta’s true age has not been revealed.
Psionic Targeting: Atalanta has a low-level mind power with respect to her plasma arrows (see below); with her Feeble level power, Atalanta can lock on to her target mentally and her arrows find the target Atalanta wishes, regard less of her sight or the visibility of the target.
Equipment:
Plasma Bow and Arrows Atalanta carries a plasma bow. The grip of this weapon is about eight inches long and comprises the entire weapon when its field is not activated. When activated, this grip emits fields of plasma energy which take the shape and form of the remainder of the bow stave, its string, and its arrows. Atalanta can generate up to three arrows per turn, firing the number generated all at once. The arrows are fired at Atalanta’s Agility modified by her Weapons Specialist Talent. Atalanta’s arrows do Amazing energy damage. She can fire them up to 8 areas away. When not using her bow, its handle hangs on her belt or around her neck.
Talents:
Atalanta is a Weapons Special ist with her bow (+2cs to hit, +1 to initiative when using it) and a Marksman (does not suffer penalty to hit from range). She has some training in Military Tactics.
Contacts:
Atalanta has contacts with her Pantheon teammates. She can count on Ajax to protect her even to the point of giving his own life.
Role-Playing Notes:
Atalanta’s name is associated with two separate myths. The first is of a young maiden who refused to marry any man who couldn’t best her in a foot race. She is eventually beaten by a suitor who dropped three golden apples as she overtook him. Atalanta paused to pick them up and thus lost the race. The second is of the famous huntress, and only female, who took part in the Calydonian Boar hunt. It is not clear which of these myths Atalanta’s code-name represents, but it is probably the latter. Pantheon’s Atalanta is the only female on the fighting team and her prowess with the bow would suggest more of a connection to hunting. She is far sturdier than she looks. She holds a great hatred for criminals, since her mother was killed by them.
